Thousand Stars

Become a Star

We need your help! Become one of our cherished Stars by committing to donate $5 (or more) a week for four years to support the Sarjeant Gallery Te Whare o Rehua Redevelopment Project. We intend that our Stars will be commemorated in the redeveloped Gallery.

The Thousand Stars fund, administered as part of the Sarjeant Gallery Trust, plans to raise $1 million towards the redevelopment project. In principle, this target will be achieved when 1,000 people make a weekly contribution of $5 per week over a four-year period. The amounts and frequency of payments is discretionary – many of our Stars have opted to contribute on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis.

Your donation to the Sarjeant Gallery Trust qualifies for a refundable tax credit deductible as determined by current legislation. A receipt will be sent to you at the end of every tax year or on request.

There are a number of ways to become a Star and help build a legacy for the future
